The Hidden Dangers of Bleach & Air Fresheners – Safer Alternatives for Your Home
Many people use bleach and air fresheners to keep their homes clean and smelling fresh. But did you know these products can be harmful? They can release toxic chemicals into the air and cause health issues.
At Break The Mold, we believe in safer, non-toxic cleaning solutions. Let's discuss why bleach and air fresheners might not be the best choices and explore better options for safe odor elimination and mold removal.
Why Bleach Isn't the Best Choice To Remove Mold
The Problem with Bleach
Killing mold effectively involves reaching its “roots,” and bleach does not.
On non-porous surfaces, bleach can be effective for getting rid of mold. Examples of non-porous surfaces would be glass, metal, or plastics.
Bleach does a poor job with porous materials such as wood. It typically only kills the surface mold, leaving the “roots” to grow again. Plus, bleach can damage wood and give off toxic fumes.
Bleach fumes may be more hazardous than the mold itself, especially when mixed with other chemicals.
Bleach solution is mostly water, often doing more harm than good.
A Safer Way to Remove Mold
At Break The Mold, we use a non-toxic foaming solution that safely removes mold and prevents it from returning. Unlike bleach, our method reaches mold at the root and stops it from spreading.
The Problem with Air Fresheners
Why Air Fresheners Aren't a Good Choice
Everyone loves a fresh-smelling home, but most air fresheners don't remove unpleasant odors; they cover them up. Worse, they can contain chemicals that:
Trigger Allergies & Breathing Issues: Many air fresheners release VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which can irritate the lungs.
Harm Pets & Kids: Synthetic fragrances can be especially dangerous for small children and animals.
Don't Fix the Problem: They mask odors instead of getting rid of them.
